It's a simple question. Let's say that you could omnisciently travel back in time as the character you are now with a different name to the exact instant when you got off tutorial island(most of you) into Lumbridge in rs1 or rs2.

Upon greeting yourself just starting off, what would you say? Would you give yourself some advice you've wished you knew earlier? Would you warn yourself? Would you give yourself free stuff? For a lot of us there would be a huge time difference in personality. Do you think you would speak completely different than the level 3 you've just met? Those are just some suggestions of things to talk about, feel free to make up hypothetical stories or just directly answer questions I brought up.

"Why do you want to work here?" should not be answered with "Alcohol, cocaine and strippers don't pay for themselves, do they?" and "Who is your biggest inspiration?" should not be answered with "Sir Kill-a-lot from Robot Wars"

I'd tell myself to be suspicious of every other person you meet. Apon playing RuneScape for the first time, you shouldn't expect there to be a lot a scammers, hackers & rule breakers. But the fact is, RuneScape is full of them. When I joined, I treated everyone as a friend, only to be flamed & annoyed. I'd save myself the trouble of getting to know what the people of RuneScape are like in time, which should stop a few scams here and there aswell as some run ins with some total idiots.

lets see the first thing i would tell him will prolly be this "train hunter(because red chins are 1k ea that time), buy god sets(the highest price that time was 2m, full zammy), invest money on gnome scarfs(it was 400k when i started) and buy small rares after training hunter".

I'd explain the game to myself - I spent hours wandering around doing nothing because I didn't know how to play the game. I have distinct memories of me sitting in Lumbridge asking "How do I get to Lumbridge?" It would give me a chance to create a second main, but without the boredom of going through it a second time.

I would also be on the lookout for hackers and scammers, as TBF said. I lost my most valuable item to a scammer (fire staff) when I was, like, level 50. By that time I had all f2p quests finished...I told the guy my pass so he could give me the staff back...he obviously hacked me ("hacked", well, not really, it didn't require any actual "hacking") and I spent days getting my account back. It's these kinds of people I would look out for.
